The Impact on Production
This unexpected departure creates significant challenges for the production team. Unlike simple editing solutions, the team will need to reshoot scenes rather than just edit out footage, indicating Yun Ji On had substantial screen time in his role as Lee Min Wook.

About “Positively Yours”
The drama is a reverse romantic comedy about a “shotgun romance” that begins with a one-night stand between a man and a woman who both vowed never to get married. The adaptation has made creative changes from its source material, with the K-drama using a large company setting instead of the webtoon’s school setting to show a more colorful story.
Star Power Intact: Despite this setback, the drama still boasts impressive leads with Choi Jin Hyuk and Oh Yeon Seo confirmed to star together, ensuring strong viewer interest remains.
Industry Response and Moving Forward
The Korean entertainment industry has shown zero tolerance for such incidents, with productions quickly distancing themselves from controversies. This swift action by Channel A demonstrates the industry’s commitment to maintaining professional standards.
Production Timeline: While the original December completion date may be pushed back, the team’s proactive approach to recasting suggests they’re committed to delivering quality content despite the challenges.
What This Means for K-Drama Fans
For fans eagerly awaiting “Positively Yours,” this news brings both disappointment and anticipation. While delays are frustrating, the production’s dedication to reshooting rather than compromising the story quality shows respect for the source material and audience expectations.
The incident also highlights the importance of professional conduct in the entertainment industry, where actions off-screen directly impact on-screen projects and countless crew members’ livelihoods.
